Three-row SUV with available diesel
The 2014 Audi Q7 is a midsize SUV that’s perfect for families that need an occasional third-row, but don’t rely on it for daily driving. The 2014 Q7 is large, but the third row and cargo hold are slightly tight on space. The 2014 Q7 stands out thanks to its available diesel engine option, and alternative to the standard gas-powered V6. Luxury features including leather seats, a telescoping steering wheel, and an 11-speaker audio system are standard additions that make driving the 2014 Audi Q7 a joy.

5 reasons to buy the 2014 Audi Q7
1. Flexible passenger space
While you’re shuttling kids to soccer practice or running to PTO meetings, the front and middle rows of the 2014 Q7 offer plenty of space. But for birthday party carpools and weekend trips with the cousins, the Q7’s third row makes it a stand out, allowing you to transport extra passengers. When it’s not in use, the two third-row seats fold flat, giving you more cargo space for groceries or sports gear.
2. Strong engine options
If you like to weigh up all your available options, you’ll appreciate that the 2014 Audi Q7 offers gas and diesel engines. The SUV comes standard with a 280-hp 3L V6. An S-line version of that engine produces 333-hp. If you prefer diesel, find an A7 with the available 240-hp 3L turbocharged diesel V6.
3. Unique driving position
SUVs are designed with the family in mind, but when you’re in the driver’s seat of the 2014 Audi Q7 you’ll feel like the captain of this ship. The 2014 Audi Q7 has a unique cockpit design that orients the front of the SUV toward the driver. Reaching all the controls and piloting through your morning commute or the school pick-up line will feel downright empowering.
4. Great sound systems
The 2014 Audi Q7 makes it easy to enjoy the playlists that you’ve always got on standby. Bluetooth® integration comes standard, so you can connect your smartphone to the standard 11-speaker audio system. If you’re a true music devotee, choose a 2014 Audi Q7 with available 14-speaker Bose® surround-sound audio system, or opt for even more musical might with the available 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen surround sound system.
5. Family friendly
The 2014 Audi Q7 is great for families, particularly if you have multiple kids in car seats. The 2014 Q7 has four sets of LATCH anchors, two in the second row and two in the third row. The center seat in the middle row also has a car-seat tether, so you can fit three seats across if needed.
